NOTE: I tried putting the apps. main dir. in "/" & then did:
tar -zcf FileMnt.tar.gz filemnt
It put the main dir. on the file paths & it still didn't put the "/" at the path start.
It just removed the / when I did: tar -zcf FileMnt.tar.gz /filemnt
And using the P argument caused it to make a P file (weard).

I'm hoping this'll be included in Puppy218 & up, so an installer won't matter.
New Puppies keep coming so fast that utility development is a little scary.
You never know just what will be included in the not so near future.

You shouldn't have to, I can't get it to work unless the image file's
permissions are not set to EXE, $ the "Run Action" is set for the file.
I don't know how to set the run action for all 4 file types in code.

willhunt; I'm guessing that it'll work with any 1.xx & any 2.xx won't work.
Does your file mounter app. run with clicking a file in ROX? If so... Does it work?

I'm at an impass as I haven't a clue of what to do... Suggestions anyone?

This worked before as GuestToo said, & now to have the option denied is scary.
Kinda like having no control over all of ROX Filer's right click menu items.
Same as the file browsers I've tested... No way to modify the right click menus.
These MIME & menu problems puzzle me, it's odd to be cut off from the critical.
But the WinBlows right click menu was a pain in the arse to try to modify also.

Its not quite one-click but how about doing it as a drag and drop so you don't have to worry about mime types and rox actions.

One click opens drop area
drag image onto drop area
I'm not sure if you can get the drop area to react to the drop or if you need to push a button to activate

Its not one click but it does avoid having to find the file in a file chooser which is what I see as the major usability hurdle._________________Will

HairyWill; I just tried dragging "filemnt" to the desktop for a drop icon.
First I dragged pup_save.2fs to the desktop icon & it mounted it.
Then I dragged pup_save.2fs onto it again & it was unmounted.

I figured this would work...
But you still have to find the image file in ROX Filer no matter how you do it.

I agree with sunburnt Rox should still be used.
Why not have the ability to set a run action on this type of files to filemnt is called directly from Rox?
This more intuitive._________________Time savers:

Rox already has a Run Action for .iso files ... this script just adds .2fs, .3fs and .sfs to the same Run Action ... so if you click an iso, a 2fs a 3fs or an sfs, it will run the script /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/application_x-cd-image

or you can set it up differently ... you could set up a different file association, for example:

no mine is not a one click solution but the filechooser method the
gmount and other script seem to be working fine here is the thread
mine is a much more basic than the one you are working on.as to
hairy's problem maybe you could grep all mount pnts for just the
files you intend to handle but it would seem like that would really
